Animal Verses Human
Today I finished (I believe) all the drawings for this book of verses by Ken Mullen. I've been working on and off on this for many years. It'll be published early in 2006.
There is a lot of crayon/pastel here yes? I am always interested to know how big your illustrations are also. I like the elephant with the stampy foot the most, if you were interested to know.
Dear Elliot: These are pastels and ink on a colured cartridge 33x44. scanned in two goes and retouched using Painter and Photoshop. The printer is printig it directly from my files using a super dupper gigantic jet ink printer...The proofs are excellent!
